      John JohnsonSep 2, 2025
      If the cook vat in your GILES Fryer does not drain, it may be because the filter pan is not in place or is not positioned correctly. Ensure that the filter pan is properly positioned under the fryer, engaging the sensor mechanism on the fryer frame.

    Why is the top-off feature not pumping oil in my GILES GBF-70 Fryer?

      Kenneth ParkerSep 4, 2025
      If the Top-Off feature on your GILES Fryer doesn’t pump oil to the vat, it's possible that the removable saddle tank or Jug-In-Box supply (for banked units only) is empty. Refill the tank with fresh oil or replace the J-I-B supply.

    What to do if GILES GBF-70 does not heat and the alarm is sounding?

      Jill WashingtonSep 5, 2025
      If your GILES Fryer isn't heating, the power light is on, the heat switch is in the heat position, the amber heat light is off, the controller heat indicator is off, and an alarm is sounding, here are a few things to check: - If a “POWER FAILURE” message is showing, press the [START] key to enter PREHEAT mode. - Make sure the actual oil temperature isn't already higher than the controller setpoint. Verify the temperature setting, as it automatically changes to 50°F after a boil-out cycle. - Ensure that the drain valve is fully closed if a “DRAIN OPEN” message is showing.
